I'm a Light Novel Master in Japan

Under the fallen leaves in the woods, I don't know how much time has passed, Ying Lili watched her finish the painting by her side, but she didn't draw any more strokes.

Can't win, can't win no matter what...

Eri Sawamura's heart was filled with this conclusion, and her eyes were almost wet. The game had not yet started, but it seemed that the outcome had already been decided.

The gap is too big. The professional painting training received by the other party has an absolute traditional gap with her, a two-dimensional artist who mainly accepts Japanese manga. She has not found any conditions for herself to defeat Shiina Mashiro.

However, out of politeness and professional habits, she still stabilized her mood. Excellent works are excellent. Witnessing the birth of an excellent work, her first thing to do is to appreciate and celebrate.Eiri forced a smile and said, "Really, awesome work, Shiina, congratulations on your painting that can shake the world."

"...?"

Only then did Shiina Mashiro react, and gradually put down the hand holding the paintbrush and looked at her quietly.

Then, she shook her head slightly, and said blankly, "...This is a failure, it's far from enough."

The cold wind from the woods was blowing the two blond mixed-race girls. Shiina Mashiro looked at Sawamura Eiri. At this moment, her face and voice overlapped with Li Yan's serious face and language when he was writing the novel. : "What I want to paint (write) is what I really desire from my inner emotions, and it is infinitely close to what I think is a perfect painting (novel)."

The gap between creators was revealed at that moment.Li Yan's almost harsh attitude towards his novels, and Shiina Mashiro's unremitting pursuit of his own paintings, actually have a resonant coincidence.

She herself is busy taking orders and drawing books in the business field, and her transcripts have only been sales.At this time, she felt like she was thrown away at once...

"Ah, yes... is that so..."

Eri Li smiled and asked softly and politely.

However, her heart kept groaning in pain, it was a foul, such a competition, such an opponent, the opponent could sublimate their feelings to world-class art, can her brush really draw more than her works?

This year, she encountered many setbacks.In life, her parents' hidden feelings of disagreement were finally revealed. Today, she personally supports the painful choice of her parents' divorce. She has been at odds since she was a child, and now she may even be her creative partner and most important friend. To be robbed by others, her hands became weak and fell down. Looking back at her paintings, she looked so vulgar...

——【So, this is the work that Eiri should draw. 】

——【Eriri, you are the most important creative partner in my life, so I will leave my novel to you. 】

In the past year, Li Yan, who has worked hard with her to create, and walked over with her, only said two words of emotion to her, but when she was recognized by this paranoid, there was always something that made her feel that she was standing. The illusion of the top of the world painting, although it is very hard to change the picture and the cooperation is also twists and turns, but it has never been so fulfilling to feel the same sense of accomplishment as building their art empire.

"Otaku Li, I'm sorry... It seems that I really told a big lie..." Ying Lili couldn't help lowering her head slightly, her slender bangs covered her eyes, daring others to see her powerless of sadness, thought lowly.

Suddenly, a [ding dong] sound interrupted Ying Riri's melancholy. She immediately turned her back to Shiina Mashiro, opened her phone and looked at it. The result was a message from Li Yan on the line.

On the message, I wrote a paragraph: [Yin Lili, I always feel that you have put too much pressure on yourself recently.Our journey has never been smooth sailing. We have to make different adjustments under different circumstances. Only when we can afford and let go of the journey can we remember how we felt when we left.Shiina is trying very hard to be herself, and recently she has started to do even the worst housework. I feel ashamed in front of her state of mind, but I think I might be able to give her a try.It's not a pity to lose to someone who worked hard, it's a pity that we forget what to do.Therefore, the arrogant and talented teacher Eri Kashiwagi that I know should have the confidence that I will not compromise on my original intentions, right? 】

After a whole paragraph of words, it seemed that Li Yan had expected her mood to change and shake. After several worries, he finally decided to send a message to remind her again.When she was at her most vulnerable, Ying Lili was a little distracted by the information, but immediately, she could understand Li Yan's meaning and intentions, and her chaotic mood gradually calmed down, at least not as humiliating as the humiliating panic just a few minutes ago. .

Li Yan did not favor either of Sawamura Eri and Shiina Mashiro. He has been watching the battle very seriously, watching Shiina Mashiro's progress, and watching Sawamura Eri's efforts change. , all he can do is hope that the participants will not be changed in nature.

The competition has not risen to the point of betting on everything, just let it go and compare...

"..."

Standing in the woods in the spring breeze, Ying Riri's mouth finally had a smile, she wiped her eyes secretly, and then sent a reply.

——[Eri Li: I won’t compromise. 】

"Hey, Shiina."

She mustered up her courage, picked up the brush again, continued to sketch on her drawing board, and whispered to Shiina Mashiro beside her.

"Yeah." Shiina Mashiro nodded and looked at her.

"Your oil paintings are really wonderful and full of beautiful colors, so I can ask you, who has such talent, why did you suddenly choose to come to Japan as an illustrator?"

Eiri asked meaningfully.She had never known Mashiro, and always regarded her as an untouchable opponent too much, but this time, she suddenly became interested and understood Mashiro's mood in making this decision.

"...Painting has always been quiet, while fiction has a beginning and an end."

Shiina Mashiro's eyes were as clear as snow, looked at her quietly, and said, "Because there is a future, it is interesting. Sherlock Holmes's novels are very interesting, and I want to walk into his stories."

After hearing it, Ying Li Li was still a little surprised. This purpose is very simple, but even the words are like a picture.

However, her eyes that were as bright as blue gems gradually opened with a smile, and she said to Shiina Mashiro: "So that's how it is... as expected of you, Shiina. In my opinion, I choose to be the otaku next to Li. The purpose of the illustrator is just the opposite of yours. My purpose is that the guy took me out of my own story without authorization. I'm not going to lose to you so easily, should I use the Rookie Comic Contest in May for a showdown Negatively, although the requirements for illustration are different from manga, you and I are not comparing painting skills, but emotions integrated into the story, so compare with me, Shiina."

In the woods, the dead leaves that have not been draped by the wind in winter fell. Under the crisp buds, the fallen leaves fluttered between the two girls. Ying Lili's pretty mouth had a smile, holding a paintbrush, and finally gave the artist's order. The challenge book between.

This is why, the creator, is also called a dream chaser in Japan.

※※※

In the palace of Shuri Castle, a tour group from China is roaming the interior of the palace, which is mainly colored by vermilion, under the guidance of a tour guide.Although this palace of the ancient Ryukyu kingdom is a replica, it has to be said that the Ryukyu side has been carefully restored.

The palace is said to be big or small, and most of the style buildings have a Tang style. The yellow bricks and red wall paint symbolize the noble status of the royal family, but the gate is made of Japanese-style arches. The style and drawings are somewhat similar to the style of southern Fujian. I have to say that most of the tourists who come here will be attracted by the buildings that absorb the styles of various places.

"Everyone, the gates of Shuri Castle consist of the North Palace, the South Palace, the Shuri Gate and several gates, because the exact age of the palace's creation has not yet been confirmed. In the fourteenth century, it was the seat of the capital of the Zhongshan Kingdom."

The tour guide was talking in front of another city gate, but while she was talking, she once again looked at the suspicious young man who was in the team she led and listened to her free introduction to the historical sites all the way, although the tour guide There is no right to drive away such passers-by, but it is the first time I have encountered such a patient and cheeky independent traveler.

"!"

Li Yan noticed the tour guide's gaze and pretended to look around at other scenery.

He had no choice but to look at the building dryly, unable to understand the meaning of it, so he could only follow this relatively high-level tour guide all the way and listen to her explanation.

He followed the tour group and listened to the introduction, and his feelings about history became stronger and stronger. He couldn't help but once again said to an old man in the tour group who liked to study history: "It turns out that the history of an ancient country with a population of hundreds of thousands It’s also so interesting, and sure enough, if there is a tour guide’s commentary, it’s still more interesting than no commentary.”

"Yeah, in fact, where there are people, there is history. Human civilization is not high or low, it is just because of the terrain and the different evolutions in the dark to compose different echoes, discriminating against others with prejudice and negative views. Regional civilization is originally a stupid value, but it is rare for young people like you to love history so much, other young people have long since walked away."

The white-haired old man wearing reading glasses said with some relief.

"I like people's stories, and I have been writing novels. Although I am studying science, in the end, exploration and discovery, humanities are also part of science, so I will always remember history."
